“…This research examines the listening challenges experienced by a cohort of senior students with low proficiency levels at a private educational institution located in Kuningan, Indonesia. This investigation bears resemblance to the research conducted by Nadhira and Warni (2021), which aimed to examine the challenges encountered by students in the domain of listening and to delve into the many variables contributing to these difficulties among secondary school students. Another study conducted by Utomo et al (2019) focused on investigating the obstacles encountered by teachers in the teaching of listening skills within the context of junior high school.…”

The present study aims to examine the current practices, constraints, and potential enablers when assessing students' listening skills in Indonesian Islamic higher education EFL classrooms. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study research design. The selection of the participants used purposive sampling. The study used interviews as a data gathering technique, involving six EFL lecturers in one Indonesian Islamic higher education institution in South Sulawesi. The findings show participants’ awareness of the various alternative methods to assess students’ listening skills. However, their discussions tend to focus on what is easiest to use as opposed to what matters most for students’ listening skills. Furthermore, participants’ descriptions of EFL lecturers’ constraints in assessing listening skills encompass various educational aspects, which could be classified into resources and practical constraints. The former includes a lack of representative language laboratories and learning resources for conducting quality listening assessment practices. The latter relates to time constraints, auditory surroundings, and designing and developing listening assessment instruments. Therefore, the participants raised several key strategies to enhance quality listening assessment practices, ranging from resources to practical strategies. This includes a high quality and sufficient quantity of educational resources, the use of diverse and authentic assessment tasks, and more collaborative work to share best practices and experience in conducting quality listening assessment practices. These findings imply the need for reformulation of existing practices and policies related to foreign language assessment that could have significant impacts on EFL students, teachers, and classrooms.

“…Listening does not comprise an important part of course books, and teachers do not focus on this important skill in their classes. Similarly, Nadhira and Warni (2021) investigated EFL students" difficulties in listening and explored the factors for such difficulties. The participants included 100 EFL students at a senior high school.…”

This study aimed at investigating the effect of listening strategy instruction on Faculty of Specific education English major students' EFL listening comprehension performance. The participants were 60 EFL students at the Faculty of Specific Education, Zagazig University. The study employed a quasi-experimental design in which two groups were assigned, i.e. an experimental group (n=30) and a control one (n=30). A listening comprehension performance test was designed as the main instrument of the study. Results indicated that experimental group students scored significantly higher than those in the control group on the listening comprehension performance test. Based on these results, EFL instructors need to incorporate the strategy instruction into their teaching of EFL listening comprehension performance. More emphasis should be given to develop students' listening comprehension performance.

“…Both the course materials and the teachers' attention in the classroom do not place much emphasis on listening. Nadhira and Warni (2021) looked into the causes of listening difficulties among EFL students. There are 100 EFL students among the participants.…”

The participants of the study consisted of fourth year students at the faculty of specific education, in Zagazig (N=60). The study followed the two-group pre-post-test design. The inferential listening comprehension skills test was pre-administered to the two groups. The experimental group used the podcast program to develop their inferential listening comprehension skills. In addition, the control group was taught through regular instructions .Then, the test was post-administered. The t-test was used to compare the mean scores of pre-post-administrations. Results of the study revealed that the experimental group EFL students' inferential listening comprehension skills improved significantly as a result of using the program. Therefore, it can be concluded that using the podcast program has a positive effect on developing EFL fourth year students' inferential listening comprehension skills.
